Two months ago I taught the Two-Color Pineapple block at The City Quilter shop here in Manhattan. A new-to-me student in the workshop, Nicole, blogged about the class. I like her perspective on quiltmaking.

One of her images was of my trimmed and untrimmed pineapple blocks-in-progress. They were made to illustrate every step in the book. For a book, each stage is created individually, unlike a blog where one can continuously photograph one block in progress.

Now, thanks to an idea from my girlfriend Jan Krentz and a hand from Kristin, above, all of the step-outs are fused to interfacing. It will be simpler to install the step-outs, starting next week, in my class at the Long Beach Quilt Festival.

Jan and I met in the summer of 2002. She drove me over to C&T Publishing in an SUV. Big car for a big time.

These days, several books and hundreds of workshops later, we meet at dawn on Skype or wherever the subway may take us for memorable times

About Me

I live in midtown Manhattan where I am a full time quilter and the author and innovator behind three Make It Simpler® books from C&T Publishing and dozens of patterns including my Cutting Lines™ patterns.
My work has been displayed everywhere from the floor of the International Quilt Festival in Houston to an enormous screen high above Times Square in New York City.
I teach Quiltmaking internationally and online with Craftsy: http://bit.ly/TradBlocks
